listening to Jason Isbell tonight and for whatever reason during Cover Me Up, I thought about DistroKid. and that in turn flashed a visual of @pud's converse crossing my field of view while looking at the floor, bored, in AdBrite's early office...lobby. IIRC, a drum set was…

ok, @uncapped_pod is in rotation. really good- likely due to seamless and quality provocation by JA. other regulars in the home gym lately: @CogRev_Podcast & The Slow Hunch (@nickgrossman). @ashleevance's Core Memory and of course SemiAnalysis in the mix. what else?

Reading McCullough’s The Greater Journey/Americans in Paris but can’t stop thinking about this inclusion. Beyond just (my) art in general…I feel like it’s particularly timely to a current specific creative project and its subject (the major AI labs and their material bottleneck)
